WILLIAM GEORGE BARRA'IJT, OF STOKE-ON-TRENT, ENGLAND.

TEAIOT. COFFEEPOT, AND OTHER POUEING VESSELS ?ROVIDED WITH LG QSE LIDS.

Application filed December 17, 1925, Serial No. 76,000, and in Great Britain June 20, 1925.

My invention relates to improvements in teapots, coffee pots, and other pouring vessels provided with loose lids, the object being to construct a teapot or the like pouring vessel with means for retaining the lid or cover thereof in position when pouring of the tea or liquid is taking place.

My invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Description of the drawings:

Fig. 1 is an elevation of my improved teapot,

Fig. 2 is a plan of same,

Fig. 3 is an elevation of the lid or cover.

Fig. 4 is a plan of Fig. 3,

Fig. 5 is an elevation of the teapot illustrated at Fig. 1 with the lid removed, and

Fig. 6 is plan of Fig. 5.

In these figures a is the teapot body, 5 the spout thereof, 0 the handle, and (Z the lid or cover.

The body a is constructed with the usual upstanding fiange a which is discontinued at a as shown at Figs. 2 and 6.

The handle 0 is provided at'its upper end with side projections 0 clearly shown at Figs. 5 and 6.

The lid or cover 03 (see Figs. 3 and l) is constructed with a radial extension (Z to lie in the space a of the upstanding flange 0% so that it can engage the handle 0 as will be described. The end of the said extension (Z is shaped to form two side hooks 65 a space or open slot (Z being provided between said side hooks (Z for the upper enc 0 of the handle 0 to take into when the ends (Z of the hooks are behind the side projections 0 on the handle.

The lid or cover (5 is placed in position in the teapot mouth on (Fig. 6) by taking hold of the lid handle (Z allowing the extension (Z of the lid (Z to pass into the space a of the flange a and the ends d of the hooks d to take behind the side projections 0 on the handle 0 by which means the handle is secured in position and cannot fall away during the pouring of the tea or other liquid.

The teapot, coffee pot or the like pouring vessel can be manufactured in pottery, metal, or other suitable material.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A pouring vessel provided with a handle, and a removable lid having a radial extension provided with twoinwardly projecting retaining hooks having a space between their tips and which loosely encircle a predetermined portion of the said handle.

2. A pouring vessel provided with a handle having lateral project-ions on the sides of its upper part, and a removable lid having a radial extension provided with inwardly projecting retaining hooks adapted to slip over a portion of the handle and engage with its said lateral projections.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

WILLIAM GEORGE BARRAT'i.
